What it does

Composing Emails is an agent skill from friday-platform/friday-studio. General styling and tone guidelines for composing HTML emails. Use when writing email copy that will be rendered as HTML — covers the paragraph/heading/link block model, tone, subject lines, and how to handle data, URLs, and emphasis without markdown.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Agent Harness Platform — shareable workspaces, MCP tools, skills, memory, and cron/webhook automations. Self-hosted and transparent.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing email copy that will be rendered as HTML — covers the paragraph/heading/link block model
  • How to handle data
  • Emphasis without markdown

Example prompts

  • “/composing-emails”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Signal schema declares the recipient as a required field — caller can't trigger the job without it.
  2. Action prompt interpolates from the signal payload (works in any step, including ones with inputFrom — see writing-workspace-jobs →…
  3. Email-sender agent system prompt should refuse rather than guess: "If the recipient address contains an unresolved {{...}} placeholder or…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb3069a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Composing Emails loads about 648 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 280 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~648

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 280 words (~648 tokens).

“Emit content as an array of { tag, content } blocks. Only three tags exist:”
